Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

David Taieb raised to 450,000 under the gun, [Removed:526] moved all in for 3,275,000 in early position, and Taieb snap-called once action got back to him.

At another table, Tor Skardi and Joseph Bardakji were involved in a pot from the blinds with nearly 1,500,000 in the middle. Bardakji bet 1,700,000 on the A♠7♦2♠ flop and Skardi called.

Both players checked the 2♣ turn, and Skardi led out for 500,000 on the K♣ river. Bardakji called and Skardi showed A♦8♣ for top pair to win the pot.

David Foldy open-jammed a stack of 1,675,000 in the small blind and Tor Skardi called in the big blind with a bigger stack.

David Foldy: K♠2♠ All in
Tor Skardi: J♣3♥

Foldy shot his opponent an angry glance as he found himself at risk against jack-high, a throwback to a classic 2004 quote from poker player Ellix Powers. Foldy took a big lead on the flop of A♣7♠K♣ and his hand held up for a double as the board finished out 4♠J♠.

Nolan Madene: A♥K♣ All in
David Taieb: 8♣8♥

Taieb's pair stayed in front on the 6♥4♠7♣ flop, while the 8♠ turn improved him to a set. Madene was drawing only to a chop, but the K♦ river arrived too late to save him as he headed to the rail in 20th place.

In a battle between the blinds, Thibaud Martin led out for 250,000 on the 9♦7♦5♣ flop and Bernardo Neves raised to 1,000,000. Martin called, and the 9♥ fell on the turn.

Neves then bet 900,000, and Martin again called. The river was the 8♠, and Neves slid forward a tower of white 500,000 chips, enough to cover Martin's remaining stack.

Martin snap-called for 5,150,000, and Neves was forced to show J♣2♠ for just jack-high. Martin turned over 6♦4♠ for a straight, earning the massive double-up.

Tor Skardi opened to 300,000 in early position and Ben Zech three-bet to 725,000 in the cutoff. Skardi called.

Skardi checked on the flop of K♠8♣9♥ and Zech continued for 900,000. Skardi called. Both players then checked on the 9♣ turn.

The 10♠ river completed the board and Skardi led out for 2,000,000. Zech reponded by raising to 4,800,000, which brought a fold from Skardi.

Zech wasted no time turning over A♥2♥ for a stone bluff with ace-high as he took down the sizable pot.

Boris Kuzmanovic moved all in for 1,225,000 in the hijack and Yakiv Syzghanov called on the button.

Boris Kuzmanovic: K♠10♦ All in

At the same time, at another table, Florens Feenstra had shoved for 1,600,000 on the button and Alexis Nicolai called in the big blind.

Florens Feenstra: 8♣7♣ All in
Alexis Nicolai: A♣K♣

Feenstra was already up from his seat as the A♠4♠4♣ flop left him drawing incredibly thin. The turn was the 3♦, and Feenstra was drawing dead before the J♦ fell on the river as he joined Kuzmanovic on the rail.

Jeremie Descouts moved all in for 1,775,000 on the button and Efrim Erdinc called in the big blind.

Jeremie Descouts: J♠10♠ All in
Efrim Erdinc: K♥Q♣

Erdinc hit a pair on the A♠K♣8♣ flop, while Descouts picked up a straight draw. The 7♠ turn also gave Descouts a flush draw, but he missed everything on the 10♦ river and was sent to the rail.

"Never easy," Mengshi Tian said to Erdinc after the hand.

At another table, Chin Wei Lim opened to 300,000 in the hijack, Luciano Iacovella moved all in for 1,625,000 in the cutoff, and Lim called.

Luciano Iacovella: A♦A♣ All in
Chin Wei Lim: K♥Q♠

"Uno minuto," Iacovella said to the dealer as he took out his phone to film the action. The K♠7♠3♠ flop gave Lim a pair and flush draw, while the turn was the 3♦. The 2♠ fell on the river and Lim made his flush to crack Iacovella's aces and send him to the rail.

"That's it for me. This is how I die," Iacovella said as he headed to the payout desk.
